the o ject .of my improvement is first, to provide a connection to thefaucet which ma be easily and quicklj attached thereto, an1 when soattached thel ressure of the fluid itself will aid in hol ing theattachi ment onthe faucet' second, in providing means for a 'et of iuid'within the attachyment which s allact as an ejector or e1eva-l tor inraising the fluid through connective tubing; and third, to arrange saidinjector or force producing tportion of the fixture in valvular form soat the fixture ma used both for withdrawing the fluidV rom the recetacle and by turning said valvular portion or filling the receptacle,and thel in vention resides in the arrangement and com#v bination of theparts, as shown in this speci. cation and drawings and pointed out inthe claims; 1 e i In the drawings Figure 1 is a vertical lengthwisesectiona view o f the fluid elevth tor attached to the faucet themainlpshrtion own at line' Xv X in Fig. 7; and Fi 2 is a verticalcrosswise sectional view-Q the fluid elevator at line Y Y 1n Fig. 1,each of the views showing the manner of attachment to thekfai'lc'et andthe manner efforcin the fluidA in order to elevate the same. ig. y3

The tubular fluid connection or elevator consists of an lar tubularpart` or parts which allows t e fluid to flow in liorlzontally and beforced out vertically or nearly so. In order to form an instantaneousand fluid tight connection for4 the elevator attachment to the end ofthe faucet the upper art of the casing 10 4of the elevator is ormed witha chamber 11- within which a circular rubber packing 1Q is providedwhich is bent back uplon itself so as to form the opening 13 wit in therubber packing. The opening within the rubber packing 12 for the faucetend 14 is of such a ,size

'as to s ring upon and fit closely to the sides of the ower tubular 5ndofY the faucet.- The chamber 11 is so formed that the fluid as admittedunder pressure through faucet 14, will enter chamber 11 and flow uintojthe space 18, thereby pressing the rub ackthe' outer side of theand the inner side of the casing' 10, and forming a fluid 'tightconnection, as w as a strong and instantaneous connection of theattachment lO'to the faucet,it onl being necessary to press the lowerend o the faucet into the opening within the rubber packing 12. .Theupper part 15 of the 'casing 10 is extended near y faucet so that the parcssed or forced out by t will be confined in againstthe sides of theImmediately below `and in line with the mouth of the faucet 14., aVtubular projection 16 is made on the casing 10, leading to the cian notbe e ui rassure place an pressed K to the outer side of-the aucet A ucetand casing.

sired to empty the water or other fluids. Above the tubular rojection 16and in line therewith between aucet 14 and part`16, a small nozzle 17 isrovid'ed having an opening 18 therethrough in order to force a jet ofluld down through the larger tube 16.

The casing 10 might be made in one part and attain my purpose, but ispreferably made in two parts, as shown so that one part may turn withinthe other. Toward this end a tubular opening 19 is made within the part10 and a second part 20 is revolubly mounted Within o ening 19, beingsecurely attached therein y means of the projection 21 which extends outthrough the side of part 10 and nut 22, thereby holding the art 20firmly in place and adjusting it to t e desired position as well asdrawing it to a fluid ti ht joint between the two parts very muc afterthe manner which is common inthe construction of valves of differentkinds.

The nozzle 17 is preferabl formed within part 20, extending towar thecenter of the same and in line with the opening 11 when the parts areassembled. A second opening 23 is provided in part 20 in line withopening 11', so thathole 23 may be turned into conjunction therewith asshown in 7, when it is desired to ll a receptacle. Part 20 is turned bymeans of a handle 24 attached thereto andl extending up betweenprojecting'lugs 25 and 26 on part 10. The outer end of part 20 is drawninto tubular sha e suitable for the attachment of a hose 2 as shown inFig. 5, which hose may extend to a receptacle 28 lower than the sink 29into which it is desired to empty the fluid.

In order to start the siphonic elevation of the fluid the hose 27 shouldbe filled with the uid. It is obvious that this is very easilyaccomplished byturning x Y as to bring o ning 23 inconjunction with oening 11, ereby closing tube 16 and nozz e 17 and allowing the iiuid toilow out thro h the hose 27, thereby said hose. Handle 24 can then be inantly turned back while the force from the faucet 14 is still turned on,thereb allowing the fluid under pressure to be orced through nozzle 17creating la strong downward jet through tube 16 into sink 29, the forceof the jet will cause the fluid to be drawn from the receptacle 28and'forced out the tube 16 into tliesink, thereby emptying the recetacle. It is obvious that when it is desire i to fill the receptacle thehandle 24 may be turned as above described, allowing the fluid trzklflowout through 27 into thev e. In 8 is shown a double connection ,forattachment to two faucets to be in handle 24 so v in sai valve casing atright l.said tubular part having apl i cases where it is desired to mixtwo different uids for the admission of fluids of differenteinieratures, as for example, hot and cold u1 s. i
